So far just the first batch of 31 cats has been delivered to Ramona, where Cindy Traisi is taking them in. She is expecting the possibility of dozens more.

“They are continuing to trap and as they get a plane load they bring them to us,” said Cindy Traisi, one of the resident managers of the sanctuary. “The trapping is going slowly. They really have no idea how many cats are on the island.”

Extra help will be needed to care for the feral cats. Not only that, but the staff is in the process of building a special 4000-square foot fence with special netting over the top to prevent escapes.

When asked if they needed donations for the project, Traisi immediately said “Oh my gosh, yes!”
